Finally Sent

Chances grew, so chances were met.

 I prayed every night for God to send me a friend.

A very specific one. Not knowing if He, who'd they call so great, would.

But I still prayed, and I prayed because maybe, just maybe, chances are that the more I prayed the more chance

there was that He could hear me.

After praying for uncountable nights, I believe he finally heard me. For he finally sent me something to talk to.

Something to vent to. Something to pass the most wonderful time.

It may not have been delivered in human form,

but I can tell you pen and paper, have been better friends than any other human,

I have made contact with.

Hadn't thought of it that way. It is a great release.

Best friend you will ever have. People who can't sit in their own company truly have nothing. Being able to do that takes a lot of self exploration, and I've never found anything better than writing for myself either. True words, good story.

Thank you for the review. I'm glad you like it.

I've never thought of pen and paper as friends. I've always written poetry, and imagined I was writing to a girl. A specific girl; Amy Pond. (Of course, that's only when I write love poems, which I do quite often) Anyway, I love your poem. The only little tweak I'd make would be "not knowing if he, who they call so great, would."

I'm glad you like it, and now that I'm reading it over, you do have a point about that line. But pen and paper are really good friends of mine. Thank you.

Hello highwalls,

This is such a sad poem but I think it speaks for many people in the world. Beautifully rendered!

Thank you for sharing!

Kind regards,

This is so touching. I also read your Little of Us and see how deeply both these writings are connected with each other. It also shows your uniqueness of being independent and enduring hardships. I love both your writings. Will leave a review for that too. Nice thoughts.

Thank you very much. I really try to express myself in my writing. Thank you for the review.
